Looks like it worked on you then. Good writing evokes feelings in its readers but as you've discovered, not all feelings feel good. Bad or good though, feelings make things stick. As you worship whichever deity you relate to (even if that deity is technology), you'll remember that passage for far longer than if that substitution literary device hadn't been used.

If it shook you up so much that you had to stop reading then it was quite successful.
